Team Approach

The CapDev team approach to every project we undertake affords clients the unique dual advantage of both a designated Senior Counsel to work in direct contact with each client, and the expertise and support of a full team of professionals from writers and researchers to planned giving advisers and other experts.

Always cost-conscious, CapDev delivers results in the most effective manner, preserving clients' resources and benefitting the community impact.

Capital Development Services has long been known for its people: the pride we take in individually serving each client, tailoring our knowledge to maximize each project's potential, and bringing the expertise and comfort level to ensure success. Nonprofits need to have confidence in their counsel that translates to their staff, board, leaders and donors. We know nonprofits and we know leadership in regions around the Southeast. That knowledge gained over our quarter-century of experience affords us a distinct advantage in guiding processes to bring about results.

Led by the diverse backgrounds and complimentary skill sets of three successful partners, Capital Development Services' three partners include:

• John Bennett, Chair and Founder;
• Allan Burrows, President; and
• Ann Bennett-Phillips, Vice President. 

Their professional experience and personal qualifications blend to form a company leadership that serves and benefits each of CapDev's nonprofit clients.

"Our knowledge of and commitment to the work of nonprofit organizations is demonstrated not only through our client relationships but also through our own personal involvements and professional backgrounds." – Allan Burrows, President, Capital Development Services

"We all chose to work in the nonprofit sector because we truly care about the mission of the organizations we serve. Every day we get to help nonprofits work better so that they can make our communities better places to live." – Clare Altmann, Director of Marketing, Capital Development Services
